"The prince seems to have forgotten that before Ben Hou arrived in Jiangnan, it was a paradise where bandits were rampant. Those robbers killed people and oversold goods, and slaughtered court officials like pigs and dogs. Why didn't the prince send troops to recruit at that time? Why wait for Ben Hou to go there to defeat Shi Hu. ”

Yun Xiao leaned back in his chair and said as he played with the wine glass in his hand.

"Times have changed, and today's Jiujiang Navy is not the Jiujiang Navy of the past. Thanks to Yunhou's gift, General Xiahou imitated several turtle boats. After a sea trial on the Yangtze River, it can be said that the blue is better than the blue. It's even better than the original turtle boat. ”

King Jiujiang said confidently. It seems that those turtle boats gave him great confidence.

Yun Xiao looked at Xiahou Ying, it seemed that the King of Jiujiang also had capable people. But it's nothing to imitate a turtle boat.,It's a clear real thing to put there.,It's stupid if you can't even imitate it.。

"The prince seems to have forgotten that the strong combat power of the turtle boat is entirely due to the three-bow bed crossbow. And this crossbow string...... Forgive Yunxiao for being arrogant, only the Yun family can really make it in this world. ”

Yun Xiao drank the wine in the cup with a disdainful face, and looked at the King of Jiujiang with two eyes like wolves.

"You ......"

The King of Jiujiang gritted his teeth and gurgled, but he couldn't do anything about Yunxiao. This is a real technical work, and the gap between the production level and the production process is there. It's not that Jiujiang King can buy it if he wants to, it's like F16 is sold all over the world, but F22 is not for sale. Lao Tzu just won't sell it to you, and it's useless to say it. You don't dare to come to Lao Tzu's house to rob it.

"Yunhou, if the prince is playing the court. Do you think the court will support the prince? ”

Xiahou Ying saw that his boss was at a loss. Hurry out to help. Xiahou Ying's mention is not poisonous enough, it was originally the king of Jiujiang who said it. Now let Liu Qi formally approve it, Liu Qi will not have any objections. Although the tax rate of three out of ten is a bit high, there are many princes who draw four out of ten. Liu Qi might also praise Liu Ji for showing compassion to the people, but at that time, Yun Xiao could only stare dryly.

"What General Xiahou means is that I have to agree to the tax rate of three out of ten. If you don't agree, you have to agree, right? ”

The King of Jiujiang smiled proudly: "Marquis of Lintong, the Lone King has already given you face." Today I came to sue you, and since I have sued sù, the lonely king will also leave. ”

After Liu Ji finished speaking, he was going to leave with Xiahou Ying, and since his face had been torn, there was no need to stay here.

"Since the prince insists on doing this, Yun Xiao is inconvenient to stop it, just like you said, Jiujiang was given to your family by Emperor Gaozu. Yun Xiao has no right to stop it. But please wait a while. After all, the Yun family is a martial marquis. There is nothing at home that can be put in your hands. There are still a few old soldiers, so please ask Wang Ye and General Xiahou to give Yun some advice. ”

"Goshawk, beat the drum." Yun Xiao said word by word.

"No"

The goshawk saluted with his crossed hands, and then ran out of the "Dengdenden".

Immediately, there was a jumble of footsteps outside the door. Someone blew the whistle in the yard. Then the Jujiang drum at the top of the Yun Family Building was beaten. The beating of the drum seems to beat people's hearts every time. Deafening drum beats. It was so bad that King Jiujiang's heart couldn't stand it. I feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, as if my breathing is starting to be unsmooth.

Xiahou Ying walked to the window and stared at the movement outside. Such an urgent mobilization is the most important test of a team. Xiahou Ying held himself without prior notice. Those soldiers under his command would never be able to gather here with the sound of three drums, and Yun Xiao had been drinking and feasting with him just now, and he had not sent anyone to prepare in advance. Xia Houying was looking forward to seeing something.

After the drum sounded, the whole Lintong didn't seem to have undergone any changes. Even the pedestrians in the market didn't look up, and the king of Jiujiang laughed out loud. Looking back at Yun Xiao defiantly, he said: "The drum is very loud, it seems that the Lone King is also going to set up such a big drum on a high place." At least it sounds majestic, hehehe. ”

Yun Xiao ignored the Yin and Yang weird tone of the King of Jiujiang, just sandwiched a piece of braised pork in front of him and ate it in one bite. Xiahou Ying's face was very dignified, unlike the King of Jiujiang, he was an old soldier. Although most of his subordinates are sailors, his years of military career still made him sense that something was wrong.

Pedestrians on the street do not react to the sound of drums, presumably they often hear them. It also proves that Yun Xiao often engages in such drills, and Xiahou Ying has no doubt that the Yun family will gather an army after the three-way drum sounds. What kind of army is this, thinking about going into battle anytime and anywhere. From a commoner to a fighting warrior, it only takes a moment or three.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

The second war drum sounded, and this time it was different from the last one. Pedestrians on the street leaned to the sides of the road, leaving the middle of the road. Some of the bankers were still standing at the door, as if watching the excitement.

There are black dots on horseback riding in all directions, and the knights on the horses are so skilled that they seem to be flying. The black dot gradually approached, and Xiahou Ying could see it clearly. Their bodies are not the standard Han army armor, but a kind of swarthy iron armor. Their horses were not ordinary war horses of the Han army, but tall Xiongnu horses.

This Xiongnu horse is worth hundreds of gold, and the Yun family can actually equip so much. This shows from one side that the Yun family's financial resources are only abundant, and they are already comparable to a marquis. Xiahou Ying couldn't help but be amazed by the Yun family's financial resources, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart. I'm afraid things can't be so good today. Looking back at his prince, Liu Ji stood in front of the window with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

More and more knights gathered on the Yun family's school grounds, and a group of people in leather robes suddenly rushed out at the foot of Li Mountain in the distance.

Huns...... Xiahou Ying's eyes widened, as a senior general of the Han army, he was naturally knowledgeable. At a glance, he recognized that the more than 100 horsemen who came at a gallop were Huns. I have long heard that there is a team of Huns under Yunhou, and now it seems that these people are all fat and strong, and their riding skills are even more exquisite, and the war horses under their crotch are also more tall and mighty, and they are indeed an invincible cavalry.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

The three-way drum sounded, and hundreds of elite warriors wearing black armor and black helmets were already standing densely on the school ground. They skillfully stood in a neat line, standing like nails under the July sun in Chang'an. The war horses behind him kept neighing, and dozens of carriages rumbled into the school yard.

The carriage board was opened, and the sabers inside were neatly placed on the shelves. The tip of the long riding spear flashed with the cold light of metal, and it actually made people feel cold in the bottom of their hearts in the scorching summer.

"Lord Wang, General Xiahou, please. Go and see these unsuccessful guys, many of their relatives are in Yueyang. Your taxes will fall on their relatives in the future, and Benhou wants to ask their opinions. ”

"Hmph, do you think you can intimidate this king with your hundreds of horses? Joke. ”

Although the King of Jiujiang was a little frightened, there were only a few hundred people there after all. Although his vassal kingdom has been abolished a lot, as long as it is mobilized, it can still send out 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

"There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and I also ask the prince and General Xiahou to take a look."

Yun Xiao made a gesture of please, and the three of them came to the school yard surrounded by guards.

Hundreds of armor soldiers were nailed to the ground, sweat flowing down the cracks of their helmets. Even in such a hot weather, no one took off the hideous mask. These people didn't have to move, they just stood there and exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura all over their bodies.

Xiahou Ying is familiar with this kind of murderous aura, and only people who have survived the battlefield will have such a temperament. Such a strong force had been seen in the Northern Army before, and later those people were incorporated into the Feather Forest. became a personal soldier of the emperor's majesty.

Yun Xiao walked to the front of the team and said seemingly indifferently: "The prince's guards must also be swordsmanship masters in Jiujiang Kingdom, I don't know if I can go down and train these idiots." ”

King Jiujiang smiled secretly in his heart, the guards he brought were naturally the swordsmanship masters of Jiujiang Kingdom. There are a few people who can still be counted in Jiangnan, if Yun Xiao says to compete with his guards. Liu Ji may still hesitate, but it would be an insult to compete with these soldiers. Liu Ji didn't believe that there were hundreds of people in the Yun family who had the level of first-class swordsmen in Jiangnan.

Liu Ji turned back to his chief guard and said, "Gai Nie, you come out to have a discussion with these Yun family masters." Remember to keep your hands, don't hurt the elite soldiers that the Marquis of Lintong has painstakingly cultivated. ”

The guy named Gai Nie stood up and glanced proudly at the black-armored samurai opposite. Clasped his hands into fists and said: "Mangfu Gainie, which master will give advice." ”

Yun Xiao glanced back at Dai Yu, who nodded slightly.

"Mr. Gai Nie can choose any one of them, as long as you can defeat Ben Hou and be willing to give him a thousand gold." Yun Xiao said freely and casually, but Gai Nie tilted his nose angrily.

He is also a famous swordsman in Jiangnan, and this Marquis of Lintong actually wants to choose at will. If Dai Yu behind the Marquis of Lintong made him jealous, he was not afraid of these black-armored warriors at all. Just ask a person wearing dozens of pounds of armor, standing here for half an hour on such a hot day. Even a good person will consume a lot of body, and Gai Nie doesn't believe that he can't even beat such a person.

Ganie walked to the front of the line, for there was a mask of visor. I can't see their appearance clearly, but since Dai Yu is not here, there is no need to be afraid.

"Please, this strong man will give it a go."

Gai Nie casually pointed to a samurai, but the samurai did not move.

"Since Mr. Gai Nie chose you, then you should compete with Mr. Gai Nie. Be careful, don't hurt people's lives. ”

Yun Xiao smiled in his heart, and he was really fooled. Because of his good face, Gai Nie chose the first one, and this guy is one of the Iron Guards.

"Well, if this strong man wins Gagné. The lonely king also has a gift of 1,000 gold, and Gai Nie Yunhou is rich and rivals the country, and your chance to make a fortune has come. Hahaha. King Jiujiang was afraid that others would say that he was stingy, so he hurriedly implemented the bet. (To be continued......)
